To all whom t may concern.'`

Be it known that l. CLEMENT L. FIELD, a citizen or 'he UnitedStates, ing at Glenieldv Allegheny County, n 1 sylvania, have invented a new and useiin lniprovernent in Reversible Cushion or Butler Mata otwhich the ifollowii vlear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing, forming lo part oi: this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective View of a portion o' a mat einbodj in niy invention.` Figure 2 is a transverse section of `the saine, and l5 ins; the weave. u A

My invention has relation to reversible cushion or buffer mats and is designed to f provide a niet which can be woven from sorne 2o fibrous material7 such cocoa yarn; which shall be pertectlyreversible so that it may be used either side npgand which has ay threads in the manner clearly shown in ldigures 2 and 8. Thisrnethod of weaving ygives, as will bereadlly seen, a double surtace fabric alike on both sides, each of its Figure is a diagrammatic View show-1 upper and lower surfaces being` formed by the looped portions of the weit or hller threads. `ln weaving this fabric may be woven in any desired lengths and then cut into the proper sizes for the nished inet. rllhe cut lengths are then suitably stitched. as indicated at 5, so as to tie in the edge loops, il. binder of any suitable ohara-frterv `Such as indicated at 6, is stitched entirely around the body.

lt will he noted that thewei't or ller threaosllie thickly in the body of the `:fabric thus giving Vit a considerable degree of resilient solidity and admirably adaptingit for hard service.

ln lieu of cocoa nbre, l. may remploy any other fibres or yarns known yin the art and suitable for mats of this character.

l claim: y i

his a new karticle of manufacture, a reversible cushion or buffer mat, comprising upper and lower separated parallel. warp threads and weft or filler threads looped over both series of warp threads and ei;- tending back and forth between the saine, the looped portions of the weft or iiller threads forming' the'upper and lower surfaces of the mat which is alile on both sides,

the loops of the weit or filler threads at the edges of the mat being stitched into the body yo the mat, together with a surrounding binder secured `to said body,` said binder further securing and binding said edge loops substantially as described. l l

ln testimony whereof, l have hereunto set my hand. f
